Pain reprocessing coaching
Pain Reprocessing Coaching has immense power to undo the power that pain sensations have over your life. You will learn skills to retrain the brain to lessen or eradicate your pain sensations.
Learn
Learn and adopt skills that help you understand your pain sensations, increase self-compassion, and utilize techniques to reprogram your brain’s response to pain. The goal is for you to harness the power of your brain’s neuroplasticity to eliminate your pain sensations.
Change
Psychogenic pain or ‘neural circuit’ pain describes bodily sensations that have a psychological rather than a physical origin. In other words, it is felt pain without a biological or physical source. Conditions related to chronic pain were first characterized by John Sarno as tension myositis syndrome (TMS) and later referred to as ‘neural circuit pain’ or ‘psychophysiologic disorder’ (PPD).
